Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or people:

    Thy Godlike crime was to be kind,
    To render with thy precepts less
    The sum of human wretchedness,
    And strengthen Man with his own mind;
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The mere existence of conscience, that faculty of which people prate so much nowadays, and are so ignorantly proud, is a sign of our imperfect development. It must be merged in instinct before we become fine.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
